DIY camber gauge
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...ps9fe27fed.jpg
About a dozen nuts and bolts, two dome nuts to touch on the wheel, a couple of strips of steel, a length of threaded bar and an ebay spirit level....good enough for a basics check : |
Same as I made :)

1.7 negative camber may be a touch too much though. |
I run 2 to 3 degrees :)
|
Prodrive setting is 1.8 front 1.6 rear
|
Is it ?
For some reason I had it in my head that it was 1.5 front. I'll leave it as is then as you would struggle to get 1.8 without camber bolts. Mine is achieved with the camber bolt on the most negative position and the hub given a good shuv before nipping the bolts up. |
I may be wrong but thought that was what gatwick did to the bug . But that was a while ago :)
|
Just read a post/thread by bob rawle quoting prodrive settings of 1.3/1.4 negative on the front and 1.1/1.2 negative on the rear.
I may knock mine back a touch as it was tram lining a bit in the hgv grooves yesterday. |
My bug was 1.9/1.6 when done at Gatwick (Dave H) brilliant but did grab hold of rut/white lines!
|
Out of interest how do you check the car is level?

So the assumption is that the body is level, which I guess is the same as a std geo - I wonder how far out you are if compared to a hunter?
I guess if you're properly corner weighted that the body will sit level. |
If I recall scott some of those threads posted prodrive settings in minutes, so in reality its like 1 degree 30 minutes = 1.5 degrees if I understand that correctly?

I think standard Subaru settings at a Kwikfit type outfit are 0 - 1 Degree |
lol Kwikfit ;) Im running 1.5 front 1.3 rear on my classic and its good. Could probably do a bit more but didnt want it too tram-liney or excessive wearish with road use.
|
i like that scott looks good would like to check my bug so il have to knock on up
